Chapter 458 It's time for us to assist President Pu to accomplish the goal!
Chapter 458 It’s our turn to assist Mr. Pu in accomplishing his goal!
On this floor of Duoyu Company's headquarters, there is now only one department left, the Internet and Literature Department.
Zhu Shiheng just hung up the phone.
He and Niu Zi glanced at each other, with expressions of incomprehension in their eyes.
"Zhongshan International changed from free to paid, Mr. Pu. Are you serious?"
Niu Zi showed a complicated expression: "That's what it sounds like. Mr. Pu said that we should do it immediately and the revision will be completed in a week."
"Time is not a problem. We have already prepared an advertising-free charging system for members. It is just a different form. But forget it, there is no but, let's implement it."
Zhu Shiheng shook his head, knowing that it would be useless to talk more at this time. His work characteristic is that he does not like to discuss things that have been determined.
Mr. Pu was determined, and they chatted all day long with the same result.
Niu Zi was a little unacceptable: "But our current development momentum at Zhongshan International is very good. I have even contacted several good advertisers. There may be an increase in advertising revenue next month. Although the payment is The single unit revenue is higher, but our user scale is not that big! It may be surpassed by Qidian International, not to mention our current profit. I am afraid that it will be directly cut in half, and the users will also be."
Niu Zi felt ten thousand unreasonable.
Even if there is a charge, it cannot be so sudden. It needs to be tested several times and an acceptance period is established for users, from 0.1 yuan to 1 yuan to 6 yuan. Gradually accept it.
Zhu Shiheng patted Niu Zi on the shoulder: "We can know. Mr. Pu also knows, right?"
Niu Zi nodded: "That's inevitable."
"Then you think Mr. Pu wants our Zhongshan Novel to lose money?"
"Of course not, but."
"In this case, we believe in Mr. Pu, and there will definitely be his plan to deal with it in the future. We have come step by step to the present, and haven't we also come under the guidance of Mr. Pu?"
After hearing what Zhu Shiheng said, Niu Zi thought about it for a moment and felt that this was the truth.
So the online literature department started to get busy.
A moment later, Qidian’s Copyright Department called and told Zhongshan Novel that their previous licensing agreement had been modified and subsequent authors could continue to sign it normally.
After hanging up, Zhu Shiheng shrugged: "Look, isn't President Pu's backstabbing just beginning?"
Niu Zi opened his mouth: "If we can continue to have books from Qidian, then our library will be strong again. Zhongshan International can always select the best books. In the long run, our library will continue to grow. Rich."
Although this incident is not enough to make up for the profits that Zhongshan International may lose in the future, it can be considered a good compensation.
"Then hurry up and find a few books in Qidian's authorization library, contact the author to apply for authorization, and continue to translate overseas!"
Now Zhongshan International is already cultivating its own translation team, which is employees who commute to and from get off work at fixed points. This will greatly improve their translation accuracy and speed, and also reduce the translation cost of each book.
They are not a small website that can only translate so many books a month. What they want is to quickly fill Zhongshan International’s library to meet the growing reading needs of foreign readers.
The biggest problem now is that foreign book friends are often short of books and want to read books but the library is too thin.
For every more book you translate, you can earn more money.
And each subsequent book will continue to gain revenue from new readers.
Tian Gou learned the news a little later.
He wasn't surprised.
"Mr. Pu did a great job! In fact, I have discovered the problem of our Zhongshan International a long time ago. Is the free system suitable? It has always been like this, so it is right? We have not tried to pay, so we just made it free, so we have to pay.
Is it really difficult?
One thing to say is that the acceptance of intellectual property rights in foreign countries is relatively high. They do not watch TV series and movies for free like in China. Instead, they subscribe to watch one movie, or directly become a member of a certain film and television company. The price is
.It is much higher than Penguin, Neiku, and Dried Mango. With such a good payment environment, if our payment is promoted, the revenue will indeed increase significantly."
"Now our user base is not small. According to background statistics, Zhongshan International has over 2 million daily active users. If 10% of these users are converted into paying users, our income will be very considerable!"
"We are always afraid that the charges for online articles will scare away readers, but good content will never fail to sell. We have let foreigners see the charm of Chinese online articles, and we should let them decide whether they want to pay for such good content.
The work cost tens of dollars."
"If we take this step in the right direction, our future path will be revitalized immediately, and the data of a book will be clearly visible! Foreign IP adaptation plans can also be put on the agenda."
"Finally, don't forget the most crucial point! Mr. Pu, why are you doing this at this time!"
Zhu Shiheng and Niu Zi: "Why?"
"Mr. Pu's new book "Lord of Fools" is for the foreign market. Is it related to his current operation? If our Chinese online novel wants to sell the copyright of the first online novel to foreigners, then this book
Besides Mr. Pu, who laid out the book early, whose book would it be?"
“Hiss—that’s it!!!” Niu Zi was shocked and dropped the small cake in his hand to the ground.
One ring within another!
Mr. Pu never does anything without aim!
Everything seems to have nothing to do with it, but when connected together logically, it becomes a large layout!
"Classic Mr. Pu’s technique! It must be like this! Mr. Pu not only wants to create paid online articles, but he also wants to sell the international copyright of our online articles!"
Niu Zi burst into flames instantly.
Zhu Shiheng nodded: "I told you, follow what Mr. Pu said and you will never go wrong."
The corners of Tian Gou's lips raised slightly: "Now that we have roughly seen Mr. Pu's layout, it's time for us to assist Mr. Pu in accomplishing his goal!"
"I have three suggestions. Manager Zhu and Manager Niu, please listen to them."
"First, publish a call for essays on 'Internet articles going overseas' in China, give generous rewards and guarantees, convene a group of authors to learn from Mr. Pu, and write overseas customized articles according to the preferences of foreign readers, accompanying Mr. Pu's "Lord of Fools"
》Let’s set sail together!”
"Second, we will take advantage of this change in the payment structure of our website to upgrade and optimize the website. We will remove the issue of advertising that affects the reading experience that we have been criticized by readers. We will directly read the entire website without advertising and enjoy it! Optimize the user reading experience."
"The third uh is gone, rub, the tone just got louder."
Niu Zi said excitedly: "That's enough! Since the version is going to be revised, let's do a comprehensive upgrade of the interface to give users a better reading environment."
"Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Let's divide the work and implement it quickly!"
Zhu Shiheng did what he said.
Soon the work was broken down into small stages and each was responsible for it.
at this time.
Mr. Pu started writing his "Lord of Fools" again, with an extremely serious expression, as if he was carving a work of art.
As he wrote, Mr. Pu was surprised.
"If I write like this, no audience in China will like to read it, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Mr. Pu shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.
"The subject matter is too niche. Works that are not aimed at newcomers cannot be published in Zhongshan, even if some people like to read them. The upper limit of Qidian Fantasy's top works is just that, and it has not exceeded 30,000 average subscriptions.
